Abstract
Delayed-type hypersensitivity to systemically administered corticosteroids is rare. Corticosteroids are unique allergens, potentially leading to atypical manifestations. They are commonly used for treatment of allergic, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases because of intrinsically immunosuppressive and immune-modulatory properties (1). These properties may counterbalance, mask and delay allergic reactions as has been shown (1). It has been speculated that allergic reactions to corticosteroids may remain unrecognized due to their broad clinical variability or frequently atypical presentation (1).
